Our Scribble Smart Program

Building confident communicators, thinkers, and problem-solvers from birth to five. At Little Scribblers, every moment is a learning opportunity.

Our Scribble Smart Literacy & Numeracy Program is a play-based, research-informed framework that nurtures your child’s love of language, stories, and numbers, helping them build the strong foundations they’ll carry into school and beyond.

What Is Scribble Smart?

Scribble Smart is our exclusive in-house learning program developed by early childhood education experts. It brings together the best of play, creativity, and intentional teaching to help every child develop essential early literacy and numeracy skills in a fun, natural, and engaging way.

Through hands-on experiences, songs, games, and real-life exploration, children learn to:

  • Communicate with confidence
  • Recognise letters, sounds, and words
  • Count, measure, and problem-solve
  • Express ideas through art, movement, and play
  • Build curiosity, imagination, and persistence

Our Approach

Scribble Smart combines play-based learning with intentional teaching.Educators guide children to discover new words, explore numbers, and make connections between what they see, hear, and do.

Learning happens everywhere, while building towers, sharing stories, cooking, gardening, and exploring outdoors. We use high-quality resources including Reading Eggs and Mathseeds activity books, phonemic awareness games, and hands-on projects that make learning fun and meaningful.

Mathseeds
A research-based numeracy program that introduces children to basic maths concepts through interactive lessons, puzzles, and number games. It supports problem-solving, counting, number recognition, and early mathematical reasoning. By incorporating these programs into our Preschool and Kindergarten curriculum, we provide structured, evidence-based learning experiences that prepare children for primary school success while ensuring they learn through play and exploration.
Reading Eggs
A fun and interactive phonics-based literacy program that builds early reading skills through engaging activities, stories, and games. Children develop their letter recognition, phonemic awareness, and early comprehension skills in a way that keeps them excited about learning.
